Project Aim:
To understand the functioning of a
diode under reverse-biased conditions.
Components Used:
1. Power Supply
2. LED
3. Resistor 220Ω
4. Diode
5. Connecting Wires
Circuit Diagram:
Connection Procedure:
Step
1: Connect the positive terminal of the
power supply (Pin 62) to one end of the resistor 220Ω (R2, Pins 4).
Step
2: Connect the other end of the resistor
220Ω (Pin 3) to the cathode of the Diode (Pin 81).
Step
3: Connect the anode of the Diode (Pin
82) to the anode of the LED (Pin 43).
Step
4: Connect the cathode of the LED (Pin
44) to the negative terminal of the power supply (Pin 59).
Explanation:
In this project, we'll explore the behavior of
a diode when it's reverse biased. A diode is a component with two terminals:
the anode (+Ve) and the cathode (-Ve). It's commonly used for switching
applications. When the diode is reverse biased, meaning the anode connects to
the negative terminal of a battery and the cathode to the positive terminal, it
acts like an open switch. This means it doesn't conduct current, and
consequently, the LED connected to it won't glow.
